UPDATE

Since my original story about the strange death of Edmond J. Safra, it
was announced as if the matter is closed by the alleged confession of
Safra's male nurse, stating that the nurse supposedly set the fire
himself.
Please note: the Monaco police are puzzled by the following:
(1) The male nurse was hired 5 months previous. (That puts it about the
time the Bank of England together with Safra's bank empire were
implicated reportedly in a plot to force down the price of gold.)
(2) The Monaco police are puzzled after a psychiatric study of the male
nurse. He was hired at the huge sum of 600 dollars PER DAY. YET, the
male nurse was apparently known to being deranged, and unstable. He was
formerly part of secret operations as with the U.S. Green Berets.
Possibly, as a reported "hit" team.
(3) Under these circumstances, the police and others are pondering
whether some criminal gang, such as the Russian mafiya, who had
grievances against Banker Safra, arranged to plant the "male nurse" in
Safra's dwelling to arrange whatever caused his death. This also opens
the matter to some discussion that this "male nurse" was prepared to
take the rap, or be the patsy, if his story unraveled. Can they
prosecute him if he is a "mental case"? In the U.S., such a criminal
suspect or defendant is sent away for "treatment" rather than put on
trial. And more, was the "male nurse" planted by some intelligence
agency having a motive, as in my earlier story, to snuff out banker
Safra?
(4) the monopoly press, having down-played or left out entirely these
details, gives the false impression it is a simple matter and the case
is closed. NOT SO.

empire, active in clandestine gold trading, was murdered. This occurred
at a key point in the gold market..... |
